DIAGNOSIS


Required Special Tools
  • MB991223: Wiring harness set
  • MB992006: Extra fine probe

STEP 1. Coolant level check <Motor coolant>.


Check the amount of motor coolant (Refer to GROUP 14B - On-vehicle Service, Motor Coolant Level Check ).

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 2.
Inject the motor coolant (Refer to GROUP 14B - On-vehicle Service, Motor Coolant Change ). Then go to Step 7.

STEP 2. Coolant concentration check <Motor coolant>.


Check the coolant concentration (Refer to GROUP 14B - On-vehicle Service, Motor Concentration Check ).

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Adjust the motor coolant concentration between 30 and 60% (service concentration range). Then go to Step 7.

STEP 3. Using scan tool (M.U.T.-IIISE), check the data list.


(1)Turn off the power supply mode of the electric motor switch.
(2)Operate the electric motor switch twice without depressing on the brake pedal and turn on the power supply mode.
(3)Wait at least 5 seconds.
(4)Check that the following data list display contents are normal (Refer to ).
Data list
  • Item 305: WP speed
OK: 500 r/min

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check the signal line for open or short to ground circuit (electric water pump connector and the PHEV-ECU).


Check the wiring harness between electric water pump connector and the PHEV-ECU connector (terminal WPN).

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 5.
Repair the wiring harness or connector. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 5. Check the signal line for open circuit and short to ground circuit (PHEV-ECU connector and electric water pump connector).


Check the wiring harness between PHEV-ECU connector (terminal WP) and electric water pump connector.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Replace the electric water pump (Refer to GROUP 14B - Water Pump Removal and Installation ). Then go to Step 6.
Repair the wiring harness or connector. Then go to Step 7.

STEP 6. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.


(1)Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 3 .
(2)Check the DTC.

Q. Is the DTC set?

Replace the PHEV-ECU (Refer to ). Then go to Step 7.
The procedure is complete.

STEP 7. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.


(1)Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 3 .
(2)Check the DTC.

Q. Is the DTC set?

Retry the troubleshooting.
The procedure is complete.
